Enacts the New York state fashion workers act
This bill creates the New York State Fashion Workers Act to regulate model management companies by requiring them to register with the state and follow specific operational rules. Companies managing models must provide detailed information about their ownership and pay fees or post a bond if they have more than five employees. The law also mandates that these companies provide clear, plain-language summaries of job terms to models and prohibits certain unfair practices like restrictive contracts. Additionally, it establishes specific complaint procedures and penalties for companies that fail to comply with these new registration and conduct requirements.
